blob: 1b99a4e05e1efa916893cb8bb03cd9fefc3aa905 (plain)

Below is a [[patch]] to [[plugins/edittemplate]] that does a few things:

  • It defaults the type of the file to be created to the same type as the template.
  • It adds a 'silent' parameter to the directive that stops it from printing out what what registered.
  • It makes the description of what was registered link to the template page (which gives feedback for typos or allows template creation)
  • It adds a colon to the standard string correcting the syntax.

[[done]] except for the colon change; it's referring to the template as an edittemplate there. --[[Joey]]
